seriously all my memories of being in a cubicle or "open floor plan" environment were so dehumanizing. the whole experience is designed to make you feel like youre being watched at all times and your coworkers totally police you for kissass points if it looks like youre ever not doing work ever which leads to tedious soul-destroying hours of trying to look busy when theres nothing to do, all the while constantly feeling like there might be someone over your shoulder.

whoever mainstreamed the modern office environment was a god damned sociopath.

my cube is in the back corner of the office where i can see people approaching also there's no through-traffic so it's sort of like a lovely low-rent office. idk what financial hit i'd be willing to take on my paycheck to have an office but i imagine it's like getting an ssd or flexible remote work where once you've had a taste you'll never ever settle for less

i think this must vary greatly by team. or, alternatively they have separate buildings that are "normal" density to show interviewees
